The weather fronts are reeling like monsters toward the Wasatch Mountains. A super storm is on the way, just in time for the busiest ski weekend of the year. Samantha, a statistician for the weather bureau, believes the resorts and skiers should be warned. If the predictions hold true, twenty feet of snow could fall and many would die. Now, she just has to find someone who will listen to her. As the most dangerous snowstorm to hit the area in sixty years menaces the town of Lucite, Utah, snow ranger Jason Stemple understands what must be done to save lives. As a series of both natural and human conflicts converge, the disaster consumes a small town. A captivating story that keeps you turning the pages.

I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads. I found the book to be very thrilling, very intense, and very enjoyable. The book doesn't necessarily fit into the type of book I usually read but I am glad I received the book for free because it made me give the book a shot and I am SO glad I did.
